This Continental ContiTech Products Aggie Gas agricultural gasoline dispensing hose assembly is suitable for conveying gasoline, grease, kerosene, and other petroleum-based fluids from barrel-type pumps. Its nitrile synthetic rubber tube resists oil, solvents, and aromatic compounds, and its black Chemivic (Buna-N-vinyl) synthetic rubber cover resists oil, abrasion, and ozone. Its spiral synthetic yarn reinforcement provides the strength necessary to reach and maintain its maximum pressure of 50 pounds per square inch (psi). This hose assembly can withstand temperatures ranging from -30 to +140 degrees F (-34 to +60 degrees C). It comes equipped with two cast zinc male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded couplings with crimped brass ferrules. This hose is suitable for conveying gasoline and other petroleum-based fluids in agricultural, construction, and industrial applications.

Industrial hoses transfer or convey air or liquid in hose systems. When selecting industrial hoses, use the STAMPED method:

S = Size (ID, OD, and length)

T = Temperature (maximum and minimum temperatures of material being transported)

A = Application (industry or process)

M = Material (to be conveyed, type and concentration)

P = Pressure (maximum working pressure)

E = Ends (type of end connectors or couplings on hose)

D = Delivery method (volume and velocity)

The inside diameter of the hose must be adequate to keep pressure loss to a minimum and avoid damage to the hose due to heat generation or excessive turbulence. The hose must be capable of withstanding the minimum and maximum temperatures that occur within the hose system. Some applications require specialized oils or chemicals to be conveyed through the system. In this case, hose selection must ensure compatibility of the hose tube, cover, couplings and O-rings with the fluid used. Industrial hoses are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.
